There has been a swede on the veggie rack for some time, past it’s sell by date, but today I noticed it was sprouting! Have put it on a plate with some water and it made me wonder if children still grow carrot tops!
I realised when I looked at the photos of my fairy house painting that I had forgotten to paint the door handle, also I have a request to paint a dragon pot. So caught the bus up to Freeport. I went to the pottery painting place, the fairy house had been sent away but not yet fired so they may fetch it back for me, if not that will paint the door handle before it is fired. They were busy when I arrived just after 11.30 am but she said that I could paint at 1.30pm. I walked up to Pound Stretcher which was a bit of a struggle, but got some bits. As I walked down I thought I would pay for the items the pottery place but return another time as it was a lot of time to fill. But actually, someone hadn’t shown up so I was told I could paint straight away. Ended up spending about two and a half hours, have got a coat of glaze on the dragon but have another layer to do. I am booked to return tomorrow morning. It is quite complex to paint but I hope it will turn out okay.
By this time I knew the leg was more painful than it has been for a while, but luckily to too much walking to the bus or from the bus stop home.
Took this photo before the bus set off, not too much chance of lovely autumn colours as quite a lot of trees are leafless!
Tried to fine a few jigsaw pieces, this one is a bit of a stinkier!
Feet up now and hoping the leg will settle down!
Quite a busy day today then. Probably a lot to do with the knee making you pay this evening!
ReplyDeleteThe swede actually looks quite good. It looks very leathery. I can’t imagine many kids grow carrot tops these days. They don’t have buttons or batteries 🙄😄
You were at the pottery place quite a while, but I know how you are once you get into painting something. Was the tongue in the corner of the mouth? 😋😂 The dragon pot looks really nice, but complicated to paint. Rather you than me. Good job you have patience. I really look forward to seeing that once it’s fired. Should be very nice. Do they not fire on the premises like a lot of the shops do? Extra transportation leaves things open to get damaged or even broken.
I see you’ve still not found the last edge piece in the puzzle. You’ll definitely have to get Darren to sort that bit out. I think you’ll be doing that one for some time yet.
Hope you’re not bored sitting with your feet up. It’ll do you good.
I do enjoy the painting even though the moulded models are quite difficult to paint accurately but I will give it a good go.
ReplyDeleteI really hope the leg settles down a bit as I don’t want a repeat of today too often.
The jigsaw is definitely one that a little at a time is enough.
